midnightcrafts:
I started with 1 layer of this fabric to test.
midnightcrafts:
This die cuts 9 x 1.5" circles
midnightcrafts:
I placed 1 layer of this fabric covering 2 circles
midnightcrafts:
I made a 'sandwich' - one cutting pad under the die, and one cutting pad on top of the die. Cutting side up.
midnightcrafts:
I put it through my Big Shot
midnightcrafts:
It cuts the circles beautifully! There were some threads not cut through, but I clipped it off easily with a pair of scissors. I find the fabric wastage reasonable too.
midnightcrafts:
Next, I'm trying it with the layers as you have mailed to me.
midnightcrafts:
It passed through the Big Shot with no problems.
midnightcrafts:
Again, some threads were not cut through properly, but I snipped them off with the scissors.
midnightcrafts:
here's the stack of circles that I made with just one pass through the Big Shot
midnightcrafts:
I didn't take care of how the fabrics were folded. I just took the fabrics as-is the way you packed them. And I didn't center them properly. So some circles didn't get cut properly. This is more 'user error' than machine error.
midnightcrafts:
again, user error. Pardon the awful Foot shot :p

midnightcrafts:
here's me collecting the cut circles from the stack, some circles still had some threads un-cut.
midnightcrafts:
from just 1 pass of Big Shot.
midnightcrafts:
a very quick way to clean up the die!
midnightcrafts:
next, your beautiful organza fabric. You provided 2 stacks of this fabrics. I put them all here. I counted 32 layers in total.
midnightcrafts:
A bit of squeeze, but can be done!
midnightcrafts:
32 layers passing through the big shot.
midnightcrafts:
CUT!
midnightcrafts:
again, you get un-cut threads.
